Specification of Letters Patent. a;

Patented Oct. 22, 1918.

Application filed August 2, 1916. Serial No. 112,663.

To all whom it may concern:

-Be it known that I, CASWELL LEE LEON- Am), a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Corinth, in the county of Alcorn and State ofMississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inIroning- Boards, of which the following is a specification.

This invention aims to provide a novel sad-iron shelf including a partwhich may be used as a hinge-pintle, for an ironing board. 7

In the drawings :Figure 1 shows in side elevation, an ironing board withwhich the structure claimed has been assembled, parts appearing insection; Fig. 2 is a top plan of the ironing board detached from itssupport; Fig. 3 is an -elevation of the sad-iron shelf.

-The letter B marks a vertical support having a bracket G projectingtherefrom. A sad-iron shelf is shown and includes a horizontal loop I,the ends of the loop being fashioned into contacting arms I and Idisposed at right angles to the loop, and of unequal lengths, the longerarm I passing downwardly through the bracket G, and the shorter arm Ihaving its lower end face in contact with the bracket, thereby to spacethe loop I vertically from the bracket and to reduce the area of contactbetween the shelf and the braket to a minimum, thus avoiding anoverheating of the brackets Both of the arms I and I are straight,wherebythe loop I may be disposed relatively close to the support B, toprevent a sad-iron from tilting backwardly between the loop and thesupport. The arm I may be used as a mounting for an ironing board Csupported by a braced leg E and carrying a sleeve board D.

I claim The combination with a vertical support, of a bracket projectingtherefrom; and a sad iron shelf in the form of a horizontal loop, theends of the loop being fashioned respectively into contacting arms ofunequal lengths disposed at right angles to the loop, the longer armpassing downwardly through the bracket, and the shorter arm having its59 lower end face in contact with the bracket, thereby to space the loopvertically from the bracket and to reduce the area of contact betweenthe shelf and the bracket to a minimum, avoiding an overheating of thebracket, both of the arms being straight, whereby the loop may bedisposed relatively close to the support, to prevent a sad iron on theloop from tilting backwardly between the loop and the support.
